My husband found this one sticking out of someones garbage can on his way home from work. I just hung it on my wall where I has a cross hung already. I love the way it looks.
We found these at a salvage store and painted them white. I plan to put some family pics in them one of these days!
I painted this one also and just put a wreath on it.
My husband found this one at Habitat and added some hooks. It hangs on our house on the back patio by the bar-b-que. He hangs his apron on it.

Can you tell I love old windows! I could never get tired of them! Just wanted to share some simple ideas for them.

Take a look at a old post of mine that shows some family photos behind a window pane that I used in our cabin. The photos are from a family trip to Mexico and were of our only child, Emily when she was 11. A fun way to do this.

I had glass panes on my window and made copies on my printer at home, than just used scotch tape to temporarily hold them in. This has held now for 4 years at our cabin, with fluctuating temperatures. Posted: 3:10 pm on October 18th

Thanks for the great post!
